Salarymen's Secrets

A guy last night said that a japanese salaryman can name 'drinking' as his hobby. If you did that in Finland or in Sweden, everyone would think that you are an alcoholic. That's why you wouldn't say it's your hobby, though it was that in practice. He also told that he once talked to his japanese work mate, who said that he doesn't like his own kids. I think that was the saddest thing I've heard for a while.
